Rigid frame, springer front end and a suicide shift!! I've been there and remember the pain. My ass prefers a softer ride these days. The last rigid I was on was a stretched and lowered Bonneville back in the early 80's, my back still hurts.
I run a monshock custom softail frame, extended Wideglide frontend (8" over), 16" mag wheels front and back. Disc brake both wheels, Jockey Shift.suicide clutch. Shovel head 74" motor, 4 speed kickstart only, closed ventilated by me Primary. Chain rear drive. Custom built by me. Big Mans bike but I'm 6'6'' so no probs. Starts on 1st kick. Own 5 other custom builts along with 3 basket cases-->2 iron head sportys and 1 80" shovel , 4 speed . The wallpaper is me 20 years ago. __{{emoticon}}__
